Metacritic Reviews

[Macho]

Agreed, we all accepted the terms which stated there could/would be outages. This game is way better than I thought it was going to be. SE seems intent on not spending anymore money on it (I don't even know how much has even been spent since 1.0).

Personally I've only had one day where I really couldn't get on for a while (saturday) and despite all these issues we are ALL addicted and just can't help but want to play. I think that alone speaks volumes to the true score of the game.

See you all ingame!

Just curious here, but did anyone else receive a refund from Square completely unbidden? I just noticed a reversal on my bank account from where I pre-ordered, however I did not request this, and have been playing the game (was playing when I got the reversal notification). I haven't seen, and cannot find, anything on the website announcing that they will be refunding due to the issues, so wondering what's going on? The launch is having issues, I can deal with that, but if they gave me the game for free because of them, that's pretty awesome.

Ignore every 0, 1, 2, 10 like I usually do and we end up at at score of 6.9 at the time of posting; 0.1 higher than the metacritic user score. I'd personally rate this game 8-8.5.

Nobody worth talking to even reads Metacritic anyway. Keeps the trash people away, fine with me.

So because 6+ years ago another game had server troubles, the server troubles of this game are justified?

Try using that logic in a courtroom.

I like how people are mentioning Rift and swtor had smooth launches when they made the HUGE mistake of having too many servers. After people began to leave the starting areas, those servers became ghost towns. I quit both of those games because it took way to long to find a group at higher levels. Eventually they had to merge servers which is something I don't want this game to do down the road.

None of the other MMOs had this many issues, and none of them ever resorted to tactics where they locked people out with system errors. Since Phase 4 this server infrastructure has been a disaster.

So because it is an MMO we have to pay and hope we can play??? The reasoning here is astounding!! SWTOR and Rift had flawless launches compared to this one so your argument is void.

None? Really?

Can I have whatever drugs you're on, or move to whatever alternate universe you come from?

MMOs generally have issues at launch. It will get better, don't worry.

[PandaTaru]

Please don't be dishonest to offset dishonesty.

Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.

I'd gladly try honesty but here we cannot do more than give a very good score to offset the very bad ones, and write a review to notify people who look at this score before getting the game.

I hate, Hate, HATE the way people think that because MMOs have been around for a bit now that all server issues should have been ironed out. Thats like claiming we should know how to cure cancer now because we've had YEARS of practise at it :/

"WoW was horrendous at launch"

"That was 10 yrs ago n00b! They should know better!!!"

Oh, sorry I didnt realize that SE are using 10yr old server tech.

Idiots lol

In 2 weeks this will all be a memory, so if the impatient want to leave let them. They dont affect my enjoyment of the game, actually by leaving they make it a better experience because I dont have to read their bullshit posts
